Description |
English: Most Elusive Submarine Home After Years' Successes in Mediterranean. 14 To 25 January 1943, Beirut, Syria, No British Submarine Has Been Hunted More Relentlessly Than HMS Taku (commander Lt a J W Pitt, Rn). Earlier in the War, After Torpedoing a Large Supply Ship Off the Norwegian Coast, She Was Forced To Lie For 4 Hours on the Seabed While the Enemy Rained Down "a Perfect Avalanche of Depth Charges". Her Most Recent Escape Was in the Aegean Sea, Where Except For Half An Hour on the Surface, When the Captain Could Not Risk the Noise of the Blowers To Clear Air in the Submarine She Had To Remain Submerged For 36 Hours. This Escape Followed the Sinking of a Medium Supply Ship. After the Hunt Had Been Eluded the Taku Went on With Her Patrol. Before Returning To Base She Sank by Gunfire a Boat Flying a Swastika Flag and Loaded With German Soldiers and Also Successfully Bombarded An Enemy Occupied Harbour. Officers of HMS TAKU; left to right: Commissioned Engineer James Stevens, DSO, RN, Lieut Paul Murray-Jones, RN, Lieut Arthur John Wright Pitt, RN, Commanding Officer; Lieut Huston Roe Murray, RN, Sub Lieut Richard Guy Carr, RN, and Lieut Peter Alexander Carryton Day, RN. |

Licensing
[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
